In Asia we are in the year of fire horse.
But since Feb, the Mayan calendar offers a beautiful balance in it being the Year of the Deer. Or Kej in Mayan. Deer are grounded, often seen as heart animals, a "quiet strength", strong bonds in small groups. Watching them brings us so much joy, and peace.

I'm still feeling this balance. Love that I found this. Especially because I work the spirit and hide of deer.

Absolutely brilliant book. Worth everyone reading, not just death workers and Celebrants, to understand and be kinder to ourselves.
♥️

‘Tis a fearful thing to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing to love, to hope, to dream, to be —
to be,
and oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
and a holy thing,
a holy thing to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
’Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.

Yehuda HaLevi (1075 – 1141)

Beautiful memories 🍃🌸
Pagan Handfasting ceremony by Loch Lomond. Such a beautiful spot.
Magical place steeped in myths, legends, magic, and known for a jacobite love story.

Today I had the absolute honour of holding a beautiful Pagan Handfasting ceremony by Loch Lomond Scotland. A place of pure magic, mythology, beauty, awe.

I honestly have to pinch myself that this is my job. I meet the best people.

I'm truly in awe, inspired and landing from the magic. The perfect way to honour Beltane too.

Blessed Bealtaine (Gaelic) /Beltane
It means bright light or fire.

The veil between what we see and sense and the fae /Sidhe realms is at its thinnest.
So be careful as you step out. Offer gratitude to the fae, and gifts of honey, cake, milk. They can be tricksters. If nice they you may find gifts in return. If not a little trick might be played. (I seriously find this occasionally happens, no explanation so must be the fae).

Make a protection charm from hawthorn, rowan or herbs.

It's the time the beltane bonfire would be lit. Sacrifices made to the nature spirits, gods, ancestors.
People would jump the fires in an act of saining. And cows walked through two to ensure cleansed through saining.

The Green man is in full flow. Jack in the green releases the spirit of summer.
The lady and lord of the land lay together and crops grow in abundance.

Cooties tied to trees in blessing/ gratitude. However don't use nylon ribbon. Looks pretty but dangerous to birds.
I have used my hair in sacrifice and blessing the past decade. It doesn't look pretty, but I know it's there.

Some deities of these lands to think of, the Green Man, may Queen, Bloduewedd, Andred / Andraste, Queen Mebh, Queen Ooghna.

It is also of course a time for Handfasting Ceremonies ♥️🔥

May the May bless you in abundance.
May the fires cleanse you.
May the fae be kind.

Eight years ago yesterday i officially became a celebrant thanks to friends Jo and Aaron who trusted me with their huge beautiful handfasting ceremony.

When they asked me I originally said no lol. I'd only held my sisters and been to friends. How could I officiate in front of 100 people 😆

But the week she asked a flyer came through my door advertising a new celebrant training... what are the odds of that???

I thought id do the course to support my friends and do their ceremony so I can make sure I'm not missing anything. Eight years later I've not stopped, my love for this work has only deepened. I'm learning all the time!!!

I only do handfasting ceremonies for weddings engagement and renewals i am not a celebrant that does wedding without handfasting. They are nature based, be it pagan, wiccan, Heathen, druid. Whatever flavour of nature based. I even held a Christian handfasting outside last year.

Pic was the reception after my friends ceremony after a gallon of mead to steady my nerves 😆
I have so much gratitude to Jo and Aaron!

If you read this happy anniversary you beautiful beings ❤️

Reflective insightful morning at Downs Crematorium through Brighton Death Collective.
Intro to shrouds, low cost funerals we can all do ourselves. A tour of the Crematorium, which was incredibly interesting.
Feeling pretty inspired. My poor children also now have my own ideas for my own funeral 😆 I might even weave my own coffin and shroud to save them a job.

I really feel talking about death needs to be an open conversation, its not something we should fear.

One of the facilitators said 'death is a life rite, we separate it from life, but it is part of life'. She is so right!!!

Grateful i went to this! Lots to think about if only to be aware for my own family and friends.

(The photo is a mock up coffin, the shroud is covering material not a person).

Hello and welcome to my little corner of threads on Instagram and socials.

I do various things. So feel i should explain and introduce myself from time to time.

🌿 I'm a celebrant- with a passion in nature based. I do life rites and our final ceremony of life.
I facilitate handfasting, naming, blessings.
Pagan funerals.

🌿🦌 Drum Maker, guide in drum making and teach of a drum facilitation course. I use only local hides as that's incredibly important to me.

🌿 Shamanic Healing Practitioner and Tutor of Shamanic Practices.

🌿 Tutor of a beautiful course for people wishing to support families through the birthing year. Supporting the connection to self and nature to strengthen trust through the ceremony rite of birth, through ceremony, drum and shamanic practices.


🌿Doula - I doula through Shamanic Practices and ceremonies. Also as a back up doula currently and a mentor. I cant fully support birth full time currently due to life changes. But ill never not be a doula. In time I'll return to supporting fully again.

My favourite thing right now is seeing my grandson smell flowers and love life and new experiences.
